CompuServe Sysop

     As well as writing full-time, and being (since 1992) Canada's Other Only Full-Time SF Writer, and doing a surprising amount of cleaning of things like toilets and where the dogs run, I sysop quite a bit in CompuServe's Literary Forums Group (aka `Readers & Writers Ink.').
      I'm an Executive Sysop in the Authors Forum, (GO WORDS) and Section Leader in The Literary Forum's (GO LITFOR) Humo(u)r & Comics Section, (Section 8, of course) and Science Fiction/Fantasy Section (Section 10).  I can be reached at any of the other Readers & Writers fora, as well.
      They are the:

Book Preview Forum (GO PREVIEW)
Erotic Writing Forum (GO EROTICA or GO EROTIQUE)
Literary Forum (GO LITFOR)
Poetry Forum (GO POETRY)
Romance Writing Forum (GO ROMANCE)
UPS Comics Forum (GO UPSCOMICS)
UPS Life Forum (GO UPSLIFE)
Writers Forum (GO WRITER)
where you can meet many writers, a lot of them well-published, like our best-selling staffmember, Diana Gabaldon, who runs the Research & Craft Section of Writers Forum, Section 8.
      Pop over and see us via my links. CompuServe will soon be almost entirely Web-accessible, and the various fora will be available to anyone who has a Web browser. And a phone. Working.
      Or you can take part in any or all of our nine online fora, just for the monthly flat-rate connect-charge. Come on over and join up!
      Unless, of course, you are a member, and you're taking advantage, as I do, of CompuServe's unlimited-time Web-access capability, and you're here through CSi, anyway.
      In which case, please go off, go onto CSi through a node, and come and tell me...why are you trying to go back in through the hole you just came out of...?
